We were gifted a changing table that matched our crib (also a gift). DS was exclusively changed there from the start until about nine months, when he just made it impossible because he wouldn't stay still! Even though we didn't use it as a place to change him anymore, we still used it to house a lot of his items that we needed to keep in easy reach - and out of his reach. I'm glad we got one and glad we kept it assembled because with LO #2 due any day now, we're going to need it!

ETA: We currently live in a one story house but we're trying to buy a two story house. If we get this house, the changing table will more than likely be downstairs, since that's where the family will be the most - probably in the guest bedroom - and we'll wing it upstairs in the crib. Or may get a second changing pad and install it on a dresser! Who knows!

Yes. We have one and I use it for all diaper changes. We have a one story house tho so I can see how going up and down stairs might be annoying.

Nope he's too wiggly so we had a dresser set up but I just put the pad on the floor so I'm less stressed about keeping him still

We have a glass topped table that used to be my desk that we use as a changing table, and before that we used our dining room table (which we never eat at anyway). But an actual "real" one? No. We also don't have it in his room.

Lo isn't here yet, but changing on the floor just sounds so annoying. Even bending Over the bed sounds annoying. Am I missing something?
However, we will have an extra taller dresser and I figured we would not use it bc I want a dresser with changing pad on top. It has literally never occurred to me that I could just get a cheaper changing table and use the dresser!

We have a pad on her dresser but I rarely change her there.

we live in just a small 2 br apt. at first we changed him on the foam mat on top of a dresser, but then moved him to the actual changing table we had for him. i like it WAY better than doing it on top of the dresser! more sturdy, safer, and all his changing gear is better organized.

Yes, and LO really likes it, perhaps because we hung a small mobile above there, perhaps because we keep some of his books and soft toys nearby to keep him distracted.

We still use ours and LO just turned 20 months! At this age he can get away too easily on the floor. Also, we used a changing station on his PNP on the first floor when he was little.

We totally walk up and down the stairs 50,000 times a day because our diaper changing station is upstairs! Doesn't bother me all that much!

We have one in his room and its great. It is in the second floor. When he first came home and for the first 2.5 months of his life, I had a mini pack n play in the first floor set up as a changing station, that way we didn't have to go up and down.

We bought a cheap ikea one with our first. We got hand me down furniture with our second child that included a dresser which is doubled as a changing area. But the dresser is a little tall for my height so it was a bit uncomfortable for me to change the baby on. So, now I just change her on the carpet.

I'd say its nice to have one in the beginning when the kids don't move around much. We have 2 stories and have 2 changing pads (but only need 1).... We use the floor w the changing pad and we use the bed, without one. They move around SO much, it's too dangerous even with the support straps to put them on an elevated position. They started moving around a lot starting like 4 months? Maybe 3.... Definitely not now, at 10.5 months. I'd say its not something you really need to invest in if money is tight. But it's nice to have for the short time u need it.

We got a changing table and used it CONSTANTLY. Every diaper change, I'd say. Now that J is more mobile we're using it less because he's moving around and I feel like it's less stable/safe

We use pad on top of dresser - at home, he is always changed there (but we do live in a 1 level condo). Now, at 9 months, I do often change him on the floor beacuse he is so hard to change these days (flipping, crawling, etc while trying to change him).
